Mainly economic (can we afford it? do the benefits outweigh the costs?), technical (is it technically possible to do?) and social (what impact will it have outside of the organisation? is it ethical?).

There are others, but I don't know if you'll cover them. The questions raised in all feasibility studies, however, boil down to one point - "is it worth it?"

does it matter?
anyways, another question: Should a feasibility study explore more than one option? Why / Why not?

Yes. It reduces the project's risk.

E conomic - Start up and ongoing costs.
